Lest there be any doubt, the comedian and host of TV’s Full Frontal includes herself in her Wednesday night rant that white women are responsible for the election of Donald Trump.

Samantha Bee pointed to statistics showing that among those who voted for Trump, 58 percent were white — “I guess Brooklyn was just a dry run” — and that 53 percent of all women voters chose Trump over Clinton.

“A majority of white women, faced with the choice between the first female president and a vial of weaponized testosterone, said, ‘I’ll take Option B. I just don’t like her.’ Hope you got your sticker, ladies. Way to lean out.”

And to those members of what Bee dubbed “caucasian nation” who feel that they bear no responsibility because they didn’t vote for Trump:

“If Muslims have to take responsibility for every member of their community then so do we.”
